Chapter 447: The Secret in the City Wall

Which one of the people he knew would be in Lingxu City? Hong Chengluo?

Li Qingge didn't say anything, and winked at him: "Good night."

¥¥¥¥¥

He Lingchuan opened his eyes and saw that the sun had passed the middle of the sky, and he was about to sink into the horizon in two hours, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

I returned to the Soul Country, riding on horseback, and there was a magnificent city wall in front of me, but this was not Panlong City.

He looked left and right, and all the members of the Broken Knife Squad were there, along with more than thirty Gale Army soldiers.

Directly in front of him is a fiery red cape.

Red General?

Are they following the Red General?

He Lingchuan came back to his senses and found that the city wall he and his group were passing through was really familiar:

This is Xiqi Miyagi!

Previously, it took only half a day for the Panlong army to enter the capital of Xiqi, but it took more than ten days to take the palace, until the monarch and officers and soldiers in the palace were trapped until they ran out of ammunition and food, and finally surrendered without a fight.

It was Iga Lingchuan who was impressed by the appearance of this palace castle, but it was not limited to the appearance.

Inside, he's coming in for the first time.

During the siege, more than 10,000 soldiers were crowded into the palace, and the smell was everywhere, but fortunately, the pickles had already been cleaned up. As far as He Lingchuan can see, the palace group is connected from end to end, with complete planning and exquisite appearance.

The door panel behind him also looked at it while walking: "It seems that during our siege, the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers and Hu Yanzhao were all crowded here, and it was not crowded at all, and everyone could have a place to live."

Wicker snorted: "The people's livelihood outside is withered, and the inside is carved and painted, and Xiqian deserves to die!"

He Lingchuan whispered, "Do we want to go back east?"

Wicker shrugged his shoulders. Ah Luo looked left and right: "The news of Panlong City has not been delivered yet, General Red took us here to do things first."

Everyone followed the red general to the west side of Miyagi.

The further west you go, the fewer buildings there are, but the more people there are.

These were all civilian craftsmen, who erected scaffolding on the inside of the palace, and more than 200 people held tools to chisel the wall.

A large piece of the wall had been chiseled off, and from the outside it looked like a big gap.

Everyone was also confused when they came here.

During the siege, Xiqi Palace Castle was in good shape and almost unattacked, so why destroy it now?

General Nan Ke seemed to be acting as an overseer, and when he saw General Hong, he greeted him: "The craftsmen complained that the wall was surprisingly hard, and it took most of the day to make such a hole, and I don't know how many times the hammer was broken."

He Lingchuan and the others looked at each other.

The walls of Xiqi look tall and thick, but how can they be so hard?

It took most of the day for the craftsmen to concentrate on digging the wall, if during the war, how could there be such a good environment for the soldiers to dig the wall slowly? If you want to break through this wall, I'm afraid you will have to pile up a lot of lives.

General Red was also looking at the wall: "Are you sure you are digging from here?"

"The classics say that in the past, Bay City was captured, and this was the only gap that was punched out." General Nan Ke waved his hand to an old palace man, "This guy also participated in the construction of the Xiqi Palace back then, and it is a living map."

The palace man bowed to General Hong: "Let's ...... The villain's surname is Chang, and he has been in the palace for more than ten years, and the general just orders!"

General Hong pointed at it, and Chang Nei nodded again and again: "This is it, this is it!" The palace wall is basically the same as the old wall of the city, which is widened, thickened and heightened, and it is what it is today."

Bay City? He Lingchuan hadn't heard it, but Ah Luo whispered, "So this is Bay City?"

He Lingchuan turned his head to look, and the door panel and wicker were also a little dazed.

Fortunately, it's okay, but I'm not the only one.

Arlo knew that it was time for class when he saw their expressions, and whispered, "More than a few years ago, a city was built here, called Bay City. Later, it was invaded by foreign tribes and died. I've heard the legend of it, but I didn't expect that the palace of Xirui was built on the ruins of Bay City."

The door panel snorted: "It seems that the feng shui here is not very good."

The city of Bay was invaded by foreigners and died.

Xiqian built a palace on this basis, but was invaded by Panlong City and died.

After more than a few years, history has a cycle.

The chamberlain continued, "This is still chiseled on the inside. The outer side of Miyagi is not afraid of artillery and supernatural bombardment, nor is it afraid of siege gas and trap vehicles."

The door panel urn sounded: "It seems that the defensive formation is good."

Chang Nei just continued: "The most powerful thing is that the city wall can achieve this effect without laying defensive formations at all."

The Gale soldiers were a little surprised.

Not opening the formation means saving energy. Fighting a war is attrition, and the city wall itself is so hard that it is difficult for the opponent to do it.

"I heard that the foreign enemy attacked for more than four months, and it took 20,000 or 30,000 lives to open that hole in the city wall." Chang Nei said, "The monarch, uh, the Huyan family is the one who likes it, so they use it as a foundation to build the palace city. Although this gap is plugged in the back, it is not as hard as other sections of the old wall. 「

Is this still the hardest part? He Lingchuan took a deep breath of cold air.

It is no wonder that General Hong had previously besieged the Panlong Army but not attacked, preferring to spend precious time fighting a war of attrition, she should have known this history in advance.

Otherwise, the Gale Army will have to use their lives to evaluate the hardness of the old site of Bay City.

The red general chariot disdainfully: "What if the city wall is strong? Hasn't the Xirui Palace been found and taken yet, without spending a single soldier?

The city was strong and the artillery was sharp, but the owner of the palace was in his pocket, and finally opened the city and surrendered in person.

It is never only external conditions that determine whether a war is won or lost.

Chang Nei smiled with a smile: "Yes, yes, the red general is a wise and martial artist!"

As he spoke, several craftsmen on the scaffolding called out, "There's something, there's something in the wall!"

In front of everyone's eyes, General Red was already standing on the scaffolding two feet above the ground, next to the craftsman.

The craftsman was startled and leaned back.

The Red General grabbed him by the shoulder with one hand, and plunged directly into the wall with the other, digging up.

Blocks of plaster fall in a row.

Her hands seemed to work better than a chisel.

General Nan Ke and others also gathered around to watch, and saw that something seemed to be exposed in the wall, thick and hard, but not like a stone.

At least not like the shape.

The Red General stopped and blew with a "whew".

A gust of demonic wind blew, and the floating ash on the wall was blown away, revealing the true face of the things underneath.

General Nan Ke lost his voice and said, "This, this...... Are these bones?"

The contents of the wall were only half exposed, the color of jade, but still had a metallic sheen in the sunlight. The iron vessel struck and rattled, like striking on a bell, and there was an aftermath of the sound.

But no one can be mistaken about this shape.

It was a bone, at least three feet bare, and I don't know how long it was inside the wall.

The door panel muttered, "This is not a human bone."

No bone in a human body is that long.

Another craftsman pointed to the high palace wall and said, "There's that too."

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, four feet above they found another bone with a jade-white luster.

The exterior wall of Xiqi has long been opened, and the craftsmen are digging the old wall of the shell city.

In other words, the ancient walls of Bay City are built with white bones?

Wicker shuddered, and He Lingchuan remembered a legend in his hometown.

General Red was wearing a mask, and others couldn't see her expression, but her voice was calm: "This is the secret of the hardness of the ancient walls of Bay City."

In other words, the hardness of the wall depends on these bones?

She took out the dagger and chiseled it twice into the bone.

Sure enough, the chisel didn't move.

The Red General took out another vial and poured the liquid onto the bone stick.

I only heard a few soft sounds, white smoke came out of my bones, and my sense of smell was as sensitive as a willow

Tiao and He Lingchuan also smelled a strange sour smell.

The Red General continued to pour the acid, and soon foam trickled down the bones and landed on the mud wall and nothing happened.

Soon, a small hole was eroded into the bone stick.

The Red General took a pickaxe, reached into the small hole and dug it out.

The pickaxe crane beak seems to be stained with some black substance.

General Hong observed carefully, and He Lingchuan suspected that she had also sniffed.

Then, she jumped off the scaffolding, regretting, "It's gone, it's useless. The wall doesn't have to be dug anymore. 「

General Nan Ke was still looking at the bones in the wall: "What the hell is this?"

"Divine remains." General Red clapped his hands, "In ancient times, many gods fell to the earth. These are their remains."

Those who heard it were shocked.

Gubei City actually used the bones of the gods to build walls?

Yes, where there is a war, there will be corpses. The battle to destroy the world was so tragic that it is not surprising that the remains of the gods fell into the world.

Most of the craftsmen here were natives of Xiqi, and when they heard her words, they immediately retreated, and they didn't dare to dig the wall again.

Some even prostrate themselves on the ground and whisper prayers, asking the gods to forgive them for their great disrespect.

"Their graveyard is probably nearby, and the Beyers are just collecting local materials." Who doesn't want strong walls? "The Bayers have easy access to their remains, either they died here and were not buried, or the seal of the cemetery has been broken or has failed."

The red general *** asked the attendant, "Do you know where the tomb of the gods is?"

Chang Nei Fang Cai was also dumbfounded, and then quickly shook his head: "No, there is no mention of the god cemetery in the ancient books, General."

"It's a pity that the bones built in the walls have lost their vitality, and are no different from rocks except for the harder." General Red asked him, "Think about it, is there any place in the palace that is evergreen all year round and is not afraid of the cold and heat?"

"Evergreen?" Without thinking about it, Chang Nei said, "Ah, there really is such a place, when the entire capital is covered with snow, it is still red and green! Once upon a time, the queen's favorite orchid could bloom all year round if kept there, and it didn't even need to be carefully maintained. Oh, it's in the west garden of the palace, only four hundred steps away. 「

"Lead the way."

Chang Nei's measurement is very accurate, saying that 400 steps is 400 steps, and there is almost no deviation.

Everyone had already entered an imperial garden, where there were strange flowers and plants everywhere, and the yellow leaves of the dead grass were almost invisible.
